WWWOOOOOOOO!!!

You did it again! (And very likely for the finale) Though I did miss Kelsier, it was still AWESOME! =D

Tensoon (hope I spelled it right...) was surprising. I didn't think of it either... I knew the secret to the kolos pretty easily, but it was obvious after the Kandra... The end though, I was suspecting something was not right with the well, but I didn't figure it out until just before the end. The inquisitors are probably controled by whatever it is that was trapped (poor marsh, being mind controled like that). Zane was cool, too bad he ALSO died... Was "god" suposed to be YOU EUOL? I thought it was funny and made me think that at the end.

Well, I could probably comment on everything, but it's all great. The "right before the end part" part seemed a bit rushed, but not as much so as it was in the first (and by rushed, I mean a WAY faster pace than the rest of the book) but it was extremely great none-the-less. All I can do now is wait until the third, which if it's anything like the wait for TWoA, I'll be reading and finished by around this time next year heh ^_^ I still have to read Elantris though... I couldn't find EVER when going to a bookstore, I should probably just get it online...

Once again, AWESOME STORY! =D

Whoa, It's been nearly a year since I came here after finishing Mistborn... (in the middle of the 2nd one, Still really great, I just really miss a certain character ;_;

I thought a lot about this as a game, and really, if anything it would have to be an action adventure where you get to control multiple characters at different times, or have different modes for each or something. If it was based on the book, easy. Completely new story based somewhere in the Mistborn world, well, that'd depend on a lot of things.

Strength power is easy to add in, senses are easy too. The amount of buttons to use everything though would be enormous 0_0 and it would take a lot of skill to be able to keep your metalsburning in the middle of a fight, flaring when needed, saving them when needed, using the right push/pull at the right time, using emotion abilities in certain situations when an enemy is "weal minded", copper cloud and the sensing one... Atium wouldn't work if it had a multiplayer (who doesn't want to have a full blown mistborn battle in the city at night?) but could be used easily in singleplayer perposes, and some other metals like aluminum could be "trap metals" you can find (you could find metals as you play, and at certain points "reveal" what they are but you could still use them without "revealing" them) and the first new on from MB2 could EASILY implement Final Attack like things.

I say meh to pure RPG style, Mistborn is WAY more than that.

I don't know why I didn't think rashek was the lord ruler for some reason... Once read the journal entries I thought the the "hero" became tainted by "the deepness" and it really wasn't him who was acting evil as the lord ruler but he was being controled. I also thought that when vin met the vile overlord he would show some kind of train of goodness or something since I was thinking he was tainted. I was pleasently suprised ^_^

The magic system is great, Ive still been trying to think of my own, but it still sounds too generic... Burning metals is such a cool thing, though I would find it odd to EAT metal... unless those beads of atium were a soft metal... arg...

Someone said a few things about the land being forzen due to the ash, but the sun is really big and red, wouldn't that imply that it's a LOT worse then our normal sun? The hint at the sun being closer makes it sound like the lord ruler managed to pull the sun closer. One Idea I have too is that the mist is the deepness but made so it doesn't "consume everything" like what I thought was implied by it being so evil and all.

I liked Kell... I'll miss him... when reading the first character he reminded me of was Toshi Umawaza from the Magic: the gathering Kamigawa cycle (which,for a wizards of the coast book, was pretty good). I like that sort of hero... Not so much an anti-hero as Toshi but still a similar attitude.

I can't wait for the sequal... Halfway through reading I was so exited on how good it was that I was fearing the end. It takes a REALLY good book for me to spend free time at home entirely for several days reading. Im so glad theres a sequal, if there wasn't I'd be annoyed that such a good book was over and I would have to search for a new one (which so far has taken me FAR too long to do, months to years between good can't-put-down books). Thankfully I have Elantris to read next time I go to chapters, but the wait for book two will still be hard as hell.

One question EUOL, Ive been thinking of becoming a writer (so many Ideas I need to put in some form besides memory) but everytime I want to write, it's like I don't actually want to do the writting part... Even when I do I seem to not continue it due to not "feeling" like writting... Also, when I think of how you and other authors write the all those things so perfectly I feel like I could never put things in ways that would make sense like that... Of course im only 16 and never attempted to write anything big ever before, I still think I SHOULD be able to do these things or I could never become a writter at all... Hope this doesn't sound annoying...

Brandon Sanderson / I just finished mistborn and... ^_^

WOO!!!!!!That was THE best book I have read in several years. The last time I read a novel ANYWHERE near as good as this one was far too long ago (the trillogy in particular was "His Dark Materials" by philip pullman). I don't know how to trully express how good this book was, it was just too good for words. Maybe I just haven't read enough books (so much junk out there *coughforgottenrealmscough*) but this was just really, really good. Im so glad theres more coming, though it's so far away, im glad the whole allomancy thing is not gone yet ^_^

Of course theres so much stuff that remains a mystery, hope I'll be able to discuss it here, I don't know anyone who would read this book anytime soon (let alone talk about it). Much praise to sanderson if he checks this and this is I guess an introduction of some sort... hope it isn't against the rules of the board... I just really wanted to say how much I enjoyed this novel!!!
